5. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE WIND LIMITED ACCESS STANDARD Upon completion of the Global Wind Organisation (GWO) Onshore Limited Access Module, participants will be able to behave in a manner whereby they are not a danger to themselves or others during supervised visits to an onshore WTG environment. Upon completion of both the GWO Onshore Limited Access and GWO Offshore Limited Access modules, participants will be able to behave in a manner where they are not a danger to themselves or others during supervised visits to both onshore and offshore WTG environments. The Wind Limited Access Standard (WLA) will also equip participants with the minimum knowledge, skills, and confidence to appropriately behave and follow instructions in the event of an emergency and to increase their safety through proper use of personal protective equipment and procedures during supervised visits to WTG environments.
The approved GWO Wind Limited Access Standard (WLA) provides participants with basic skills, which enable them to safely participate in supervised visits to WTG environments.
GWO Wind Limited Access Standard (WLA) does not provide the training necessary to independently visit or safely work in WTG environments. GWO recommends that persons working in WTG environments complete the full GWO BST training
